PathAttribute object allows attributes consisting of a name and a value to be specified for various points along a path. The attributes are exposed to the delegate as <a href="qdeclarativeintroduction.html#attached-properties">Attached Properties</a>. The value of an attribute at any particular point along the path is interpolated from the PathAttributes bounding that point.</p> <p>The example below shows a path with the items scaled to 30% with opacity 50% at the top of the path and scaled 100% with opacity 100% at the bottom. Note the use of the <a href="qml-pathview.html">PathView</a>.iconScale and <a href="qml-pathview.html">PathView</a>.iconOpacity attached properties to set the scale and opacity of the delegate.</p> <table class="generic"> <tr valign="top" class="odd"><td ><p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/declarative-pathattribute.png" alt="" /></p></td><td ><pre class="qml"> import QtQuick 1.0 <span class="type"><a href="qml-rectangle.html">Rectangle</a></span> { <span class="name">width</span>: <span class="number">240</span>; <span class="name">height</span>: <span class="number">200</span> <span class="type"><a href="qml-component.html">Component</a></span> { <span class="name">id</span>: <span class="name">delegate</span> <span class="type"><a href="qml-item.html">Item</a></span> { <span class="name">width</span>: <span class="number">80</span>; <span class="name">height</span>: <span class="number">80</span> <span class="name">scale</span>: <span class="name">PathView</span>.<span class="name">iconScale</span> <span class="name">opacity</span>: <span class="name">PathView</span>.<span class="name">iconOpacity</span> <span class="type"><a href="qml-column.html">Column</a></span> { <span class="type"><a href="qml-image.html">Image</a></span> { <span class="name">anchors</span>.horizontalCenter: <span class="name">nameText</span>.<span class="name">horizontalCenter</span>; <span class="name">width</span>: <span class="number">64</span>; <span class="name">height</span>: <span class="number">64</span>; <span class="name">source</span>: <span class="name">icon</span> } <span class="type"><a href="qml-text.html">Text</a></span> { <span class="name">id</span>: <span class="name">nameText</span>; <span class="name">text</span>: <span class="name">name</span>; <span class="name">font</span>.pointSize: <span class="number">16</span> } } } } <span class="type"><a href="qml-pathview.html">PathView</a></span> { <span class="name">anchors</span>.fill: <span class="name">parent</span> <span class="name">model</span>: <span class="name">ContactModel</span> {} <span class="name">delegate</span>: <span class="name">delegate</span> <span class="name">path</span>: <span class="name">Path</span> { <span class="name">startX</span>: <span class="number">120</span>; <span class="name">startY</span>: <span class="number">100</span> <span class="type">PathAttribute</span> { <span class="name">name</span>: <span class="string">"iconScale"</span>; <span class="name">value</span>: <span class="number">1.0</span> } <span class="type">PathAttribute</span> { <span class="name">name</span>: <span class="string">"iconOpacity"</span>; <span class="name">value</span>: <span class="number">1.0</span> } <span class="type"><a href="qml-pathquad.html">PathQuad</a></span> { <span class="name">x</span>: <span class="number">120</span>; <span class="name">y</span>: <span class="number">25</span>; <span class="name">controlX</span>: <span class="number">260</span>; <span class="name">controlY</span>: <span class="number">75</span> } <span class="type">PathAttribute</span> { <span class="name">name</span>: <span class="string">"iconScale"</span>; <span class="name">value</span>: <span class="number">0.3</span> } <span class="type">PathAttribute</span> { <span class="name">name</span>: <span class="string">"iconOpacity"</span>; <span class="name">value</span>: <span class="number">0.5</span> } <span class="type"><a href="qml-pathquad.html">PathQuad</a></span> { <span class="name">x</span>: <span class="number">120</span>; <span class="name">y</span>: <span class="number">100</span>; <span class="name">controlX</span>: -<span class="number">20</span>; <span class="name">controlY</span>: <span class="number">75</span> } } } }</pre> <p>(see the <a href="qml-pathview.html">PathView</a> documentation for the specification of ContactModel.qml used for ContactModel above.)</p> </td></tr> </table> <p><b>See also </b><a href="qml-path.html">Path</a>.</p> <!-- @@@PathAttribute --> <h2>Property Documentation</h2> <!-- $$$name --> <div class="qmlitem"><div class="qmlproto"><table class="qmlname"><tr valign="top" class="odd"><td class="tblQmlPropNode"><p><a name="name-prop"></a><span class="name">name</span> : <span class="type"><a href="qml-string.html">string</a></span></p></td></tr></table></div><div class="qmldoc"><p>This property holds the name of the attribute to change.</p> <p>This attribute will be available to the delegate as <a href="qml-pathview.html">PathView</a>.<name></p> <p>Note that using an existing Item property name such as "opacity" as an attribute is allowed.
